About Gregg Rochester - Visiting artist - Gregg Rochester
Rochester received fine art training at the graduate level at the University of Kansas, the Instituto Allende, the Belles Artes (San Miguel de Allende, Mexico), and Indiana State University. His most recent painting studies were with renowned Utah tonalist painter, Michael Workman at the Scottsdale Artist's School.
He enjoys working in larger formats, producing some works in the 72”X 72” range. A full time painter in Wisconsin he enjoys gallery representations in New York City; Scottsdale & Tucson, Arizona; San Luis Obispo, California; Taos, New Mexico; Colorado Springs, Colorado (The Broadmoor Hotel); Minneapolis, Minnesota; and Louisville, Kentucky. He has been featured in annual shows in New York, Scottsdale, Taos, Colorado Springs, Minneapolis, and other Midwestern venues. Rochester has been named a “featured artist” on the National Endowment for the Arts website.
Rochester's contemplative work seeks to stir the natural spirituality and grace of the land and the animals closest to it. He seeks to express the comfort many feel as they gaze upon the countryside. One observer pointed out, “Rochester's work eases the eye, calms the chaos, and leads one to return to what they know is right with themselves and the land.”
